What makes the best photo location? I think this will vary depending on your photographer. Take the same couple, same location, same time of day, but change the photographer? Your photos will be completely different! One of my favorite backgrounds for photos is so simple. A big open grassy field, and a gravel road. I […]

Shawn and Lindsey’s Wisconsin Fall Engagement Pictures

Damian and Leigh’s engagement session was absolutely perfect. We had the perfect summer evening. A soft breeze caught the natural wild grasses and flowers in La Crosse’s Blufflands just enough. The evening sun peeked through the tall pine trees. The clouds put on a show towards the end of our time. Leigh’s bow, nails, and […]

Damian and Leigh’s Engagement Session in the Wisconsin Blufflands

Molly and Cory. A sweet mixture of intimacy and sarcasm. Fun and love. High School sweethearts. I could tell just from that hour of hanging out together that these two are ready. They know each other so well. They’ve grown into adults together. And complete each other. They started dating when they were 15, Evan […]

Cory and Molly’s Engagement Photos by the Mississippi River in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin

These two wanted their wedding weekend to be filled with fun for everyone. And a roadtrip to the Wisconsin Peninsula was the perfect way to start it out. They started their weekend with a fishing charter trip onto the lake with their officiant and friends and family. They not only got to watch the sun rise, but also had great luck with their catch. Nathan and Bri’s family made sure I got to have a great weekend also.

Nathan and Brianna’s Summer Door County Wisconsin Wedding

Talking to Jordan and Madison about their wedding day has me already excited for next year! There will be no shortage of fun and laughter; of that I am sure. These two know how to have a good time. As Madison’s mom will say, “Eat, Drink and be Merry”. Or in this case, Married 😉

Jordan and Madison’s May Engagement Session in La Crosse, Wisconsin

Nathan and Brianna were such a dream to photograph. They were so easy going. When you’re having professional photos taken, it can be easy to feel nervous and stiff. But, take notes from these two and just relax, lean into each other, laugh a lot, and truly spend this time enjoying the presence of your partner.

Engagement Photos at St. Feriole Island in Prairie du Chien Wisconsin

Kyle and Sarah have such sweet, gentle vibe about them. I absolutely loved the way they responded to each other, and the love in their eyes when they looked at each other.

I am so excited and honored to capture your wedding day photos in just a few weeks. Wishing you both a lifetime of love!

Kyle and Sarah’s Family Engagement Session at a Wisconsin Nursery

These two are so incredibly sweet. And, I got to take their engagement photos at my favorite little getaway in Crawford County Wisconsin. It’s just a perfect patch of open fields with no one watching.

Emily and Jedediah’s Engagement Photo Getaway

Chase and Danielle. Loving, honest, silly, crazy, supportive, passionate and adventurous. They roadtripped from Wisconsin Rapids to my favorite ‘middle of nowhere’ spot and I think we can all agree that it did not let them down. Can we live in this moment forever? The lighting, love and laugher was everything. The golden natural grasses […]

Chase and Danielle’s Wisconsin Fall Engagement Photos

Josh and Janell’s engagement session was filled with so much happiness. Their love for each other was so sweet. As the wind rippled through the natural grasses, our laughter followed. Hand in hand, they strolled together. Following my cues as they shared a glance, or looked to the path ahead. Josh’s little guy, Jay, joined […]
